Welsh Rarebit: A New Way to Eat Cheese on Toast

Welsh Rarebit is a Welsh delicacy. The recipe calls for butter, flour, mustard powder, cayenne, stout, Worcestershire sauce, and very sharp cheese. The Worcestershire sauce pulls off the favor. Another thing I didn’t know was that there’s absolutely no rabbit in the dish. But unlike any cheese snack you have ever tried, this one will by far become your favorite. It’s a cheese lover’s delight. The sharp cheese really pulls it off. The Irish and the Scots can’t match this dish.

Key Takeaways:

The proper name is rarebit, not rabbit – there is no meat involved.

Version vary – the cheese sauce may be thinned with milk or stout, and some are browned in the broiler.

The savory Welsh Rarebit served at Fergus Henderson’s St. John’s restaurant in London is not to be missed.

“Regardless of its provenance, Welsh rarebit is a dish that any country should be happy to claim.”
